<h1>Firefox Update Scanner</h1>
<p>As a Linux user you are pretty familiar with the concept of restricted accounts,
but other operating systems still refuse to educate their users properly. Sad
enough that Mozilla supports this misbehavior for years now by making it impossible
for restricted accounts to get notified about application updates. This especially
sucks in home user environments.</p>
<p>If you are a Linux user or brave enough to tackle the pitfalls under windows
when using a restricted account, you can use this Ubiquity command to get notified
about Firefox updates. On every browser start it checks whether their is an update
and in case informs the user with a Firefox notification. Of course a manual check
could be performed by involving the <em>fx update scanner</em> command in the Ubiquity
interface.</p>
<p>Compatible with:</p>
<ul><li>Firefox 3.5</li>
<li>Ubiquity 0.5</li>
</ul>
